All parties have 14 days to respond to the charges.
Sol Campbell escapes scot-free and un-harmed with a petty fine for a dangerous retaliation that could've caused Eric Djemba-Djemba all-sorts of injury-problems, and given United a penalty that would've possibly given us the end-of-match result sooner.
...£20,000? Campbell makes over 4-times as much as that within the space of a week!!!
The FA really ARE ruining the future of English Football (while influencing others) if thugs can get away with "murder"!
I WAS looking-forward to seeing what the Arséne's Arsé-oles get for their after-match antics at Old Trafford, but now I only see the same things happening again; with pocket-money-losses spread across all guilty-parties!
Careful, now - try not to fine them too much, now!! :@
> ave it they did see that djemba djemba provoked him with that tackel
> after all?
Good one Snipper!

I spit on the pathetic FA.
Campbell espcapes ban and gets a £20,000 fine for his djemba-djemba kick...WHATS THE POINT?! isnt campbell on near £100,000 a week?!

Whereas, if the hearing was AFTER the Turk-Eng match; I'd be willing to bet anything that Campbell would have got something like a 3-match ban and £150,000 fine.
*The filter is bloody crap, how come I can't say tw@t?
